Very nice, but I do have a question (which is probably picky).

Since you are not looking for a return value, I was wondering why GetList is a Function rather than a Sub?

Does that really matter anyway?

In terms of functionality no...but it is contrary to my sense of consistency (Ok, ok...I know...I'm picky...what can I say? )

guess nothing...but it looks cool : D

in your routine, is it possible to tell if a given process has a window? and if its a window, can i get its handle? without enumerating all the windows.
